As much as I’ve experienced, the street is rich for its cultural diversities. There is an intermix of different social and ethnic way of life.

Bedford Avenue, particularly the part of it that runs into South Brooklyn, is a beautiful road which spawns into a green corridor in the spring with trees lining either side.

I once took my mom for a stroll down bedford avenue in williamsburg and I felt very conspicuous. I felt as though I was back in high school and I had brought my mom to school for a day. Everyone is so young (and usually white) that I felt like my mom stood out like a sore thumb. This place is fre...
